It's Lit!

It’s Lit! is a series of smart, funny video essays from PBS Digital Studios about our favorite books and why we love to read. Hosted by Lindsay Ellis, the series delves into topics like the evolution of YA, how science fiction mirrors our own anxieties, and why the book is sometimes just a _bit_ better than the movie.

PBS Digital Studios brings you original web series exploring science, music, arts, culture, and beyond. Working with creators and producers from across the web, we showcase the best the internet has to offer, while celebrating the impact of public media. Look for new episodes weekly on YouTube, Facebook Watch, PBS.org as well as on PBS apps on OTT and mobile!

On this special episode of It’s Lit! we explore how Les Mis became both a national anthem.
